Jackson & Perkins Gladiolus Passos Bulbs

At maturity, the 'Passos' variety reaches an impressive height of 58 inches. Because they grow quite tall, you may want to plant them in a location protected from strong winds or consider staking them to keep the stalks upright.

These bulbs are hardy in USDA zones 7-10. If you live in a colder region, you can still enjoy them by planting the bulbs in the spring and digging them up in the fall to store indoors over the winter.

One of the best features of this variety is its sequential blooming. The flowers open from the bottom of the stalk up, which ensures you get a consistent, long-lasting display of color throughout the summer months.

Yes, they are considered florist-quality blooms. Their tall, sturdy stalks and unique lavender-striped petals make them an excellent choice for creating dramatic, vertical arrangements in your home.

For the best performance, plant them in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. They thrive when they get plenty of direct sunlight, which helps support their tall, heavy stalks.

You should plant the bulbs at a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Space them about 4 to 6 inches apart to ensure they have enough room to establish their root systems properly.
